Bright Ideas to Add Colour to Your Kitchen on a Budget

The kitchen is the heart of the household, and because it tends to be the most used space in the house, it’s important that it looks and feels good. One thing that can make an average kitchen feel better is a little colour, and adding colour to the kitchen,  even the smallest of budgets is something that can be easily achieved.

Here are some bright ideas to add colour to your kitchen on a budget:

Wall Decals

You might think of wall decals as being something for the kids’ bedrooms, where you can stick a Hello Kitty or Batman scene onto their walls with ease. However, wall decals can be used anywhere in the home, and they are great for adding a pop of colour to the home quickly on a budget.

Open Shelving

Using open shelving units rather than closed off kitchen cabinets is a great way of adding colour to the kitchen because you can then fill the shelves with all of your brightly coloured crockery (which you need anyway) making for a low-cost display.

Mosaic Tiles

Mosaic tiles come in so many different colours and styles, and they make the kitchen look so much more expensive (even when they’re pretty cheap), not to mention the fact they’re easier to clean, which means they are probably the perfect solution for anyone who wants to add colour to the kitchen. To make the most of tiles, try using three or four different colours to create a rainbow kitchen.

An Interesting Rug

An easy way to add colour and comfort to the kitchen is by adding a pretty patterned rug. Place it underneath your table, for a pop of colour that will also keep your feet warm and increase the cosiness of your family when you sit down for dinner together.

Plenty of Plants

Herbs and plants have a natural home in the kitchen, and it just so happens they’re pretty colourful in their own right. So, if you’re looking for a really budget option to add an eye-catching pop of colour to your space, invest in a few potted herbs.

A Superior Sink

If you have a little more money in your budget and you want to spend it on something colourful which will have a dramatic impact in the kitchen, buy a brightly coloured sink! They’re far from the cheapest idea on this list, but they’re certainly the most dramatic and when you have one, you don’t need to worry about adding much else in terms of colour, to the space!

A Feature Wall

Feature walls are very economical because you only need enough paint to cover a small space. They can also have a pretty significant impact, transforming the whole space in an instant. Good kitchen feature wall colours include yellow, red and green.

Comfy Cushions

Adding some colour to your kitchen can be as simple as adding some cushions, in primary colours to your seating area. The good thing about this is you can easily change them whenever you get bored, so you won’t be stuck with colours you hate five years from now. They’re obviously pretty comfy too.
